Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 149 Su Wen: Gu Yuena, come into my bowl!

"What exactly went wrong?"

Tang San walked awkwardly down the empty corridor toward the rest area belonging to Haotian Academy, frowning as he pondered.

Erming followed closely behind, fulfilling his duty as a bodyguard, but there was a hint of dejection in his eyes. Being called a traitor by the Venerable One, the Lord of Soul Beasts, must have been a tremendous blow to the spirit of a soul beast weighing several thousand tons.

But it and its brother were originally soul beasts. They finally got a formal position in the Heavenly Court. They had walked on thin ice and suffered a lot of torment along the way. Now that they had finally succeeded, how could they possibly go back to their "former boss" and become unemployed?

As for the current situation of the Soul Beast race, being in the Heavenly Court, it naturally knows more secrets. The God Realm prevents Soul Beasts from becoming gods, and even these two insignificant officials on the sidelines are probably the highest titles the beast race currently holds in the God Realm.

What does the Silver Dragon King have left now?
Aside from his status as the ruler of all soul beasts, his demigod strength, and his crippled body, he possessed nothing.

Of course, it could include the ferocious beasts that spontaneously gathered in the Star Dou Great Forest, but it knew all too well the terror of the God Realm. The one in front of it could suppress the entire Star Dou Great Forest with a single finger!
This is also why the Silver Dragon King has been hiding for so long. Once the God Realm discovers her location, Tang San will surely execute her. But in reality... Tang San has already discovered her. The reason he remains calm is because he has another purpose for her... to prepare for his future son.

The Soul Beast race is finished; it has no future.

Your Excellency, surely you can't stop us from moving towards a better future?

"Er Ming, why are you unmoved by the conditions she proposed?" Tang San pondered for a long time, then suddenly remembered that he couldn't return to the God Realm to check the information, and frowned as he looked at Er Ming.

"Huh?" Erming was taken aback.

"never mind……"

Tang San waved his hand, the word "trash" practically taunting him, but he held back. He was in the mortal realm now, and he still had to give these two some face in order to better carry out his grand plan.

It's a pity that he's new here and doesn't really know much about what happened back then. He only knows that the Silver Dragon King was formed from the Dragon God's creation divine essence and elemental authority. But since the two of them came from the same source, they should love each other. She didn't feel any heartache when the Golden Dragon King was trapped in the God Realm and suffered.

"Difficult."

Tang San cursed his bad luck under his breath before heading towards the room.

"Let's prepare for tomorrow's match."

……

"You heard everything just now?"

Gu Yuena turned around, her fair and delicate face regaining its indifferent expression as she looked at Su Wen inside the room.

"I just find it amusing that this so-called enforcer of the divine realm has misplaced his ulterior motives," Su Wen said with a smile.

"He probably thought that your relationship with me was unbreakable, which led you to reject his offer. In reality, your relationship with the Golden Dragon King is not what he imagined."

Gu Yuena remained silent.

"Actually, there was another way to save the Soul Beast race that day, but I didn't mention it. It was that you devoured the Golden Dragon King, thereby restoring the Dragon God to his full glory, breaking the 'curse' left by the old Dragon God, and allowing the Soul Beasts to ascend to the God Realm. Only when they have a voice in the God Realm will the human race take this matter seriously..."

Su Wen crossed his arms and sighed.

It wasn't actually a curse. Perhaps even the Dragon God couldn't have imagined that the soul beasts would suffer such a miserable fate after it split apart. The Golden Dragon King was trapped in the God Realm, while the Silver Dragon King survived with severe injuries and hid in the lower realm.

Therefore, the inability of soul beasts to become gods is tantamount to a "curse" that they must bear for generations.

“Devouring the Golden Dragon King…” A strange light flashed in Gu Yuena’s silver eyes, then she shook her head: “The difficulty is too high. Not to mention that it is suppressed by the God Realm, I have to break through the God Realm’s barrier. Even if I can bypass the God Realm, how could it be willing to be devoured by me?”

Su Wen: "..."

No way, you actually dare to think that way?
When that time comes, it's still uncertain who will devour whom.

"you!"

Gu Yuena naturally noticed Su Wen's strange expression. A hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across her pretty face. She lightly kicked Su Wen, but because the girl was wearing white stockings and slippers, the force was not strong, and Su Wen only felt a soft kick.

"but……"

Su Wen hesitated for a moment.

"If you sign a contract with me, I might be able to elevate you to the rank of Dragon God without having to devour the Golden Dragon King..."

That's too blunt.

He always had the illusion that an evil uncle was trying to abduct young girls, and he preferred that others willingly come into his bowl.

"Well……"

But the Silver Dragon King was truly moved, biting his lip and acting coy.

"If, I mean if I sign a contract with you, then would I be obligated to obey any orders you give me?"

“Hmm… I haven’t tried it, but after signing a contract with me, I will definitely have the upper hand.” Su Wen pondered, “If we’re talking about Hurricane, Xiao Jin and the others were ‘forced’ to be captured, meaning they didn’t know about it beforehand and didn’t ask for my opinion, but they definitely benefited. Even if they were to pledge allegiance to me, they would not lose out by evolving even a little bit… As for the Qingluan after it, I will explain the pros and cons to the more intelligent soul beasts and let you make your own decisions.”

"Then wouldn't you be my master?" Gu Yuena pursed her red lips, her expression complicated.

"Hmm, um... I guess so." Su Wen clicked his tongue.

It must be admitted that he has absolute control over all the contracted soul beasts, meaning that he has the right to forcibly manipulate them when there is a disagreement.

"Ah."

Gu Yuena nodded, kicked off her shoes, lay back on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, turned her back to Su Wen, and hummed.

This is a signal to Su Wen to get lost.

Su Wen scratched his head: "So, does that mean you agree?"

"Humph."

Listening to Gu Yuena moaning in bed, Su Wen became even more confused. "What does 'moan' mean?"

"Get out of here!"

Gu Yuena said angrily.

She raised her foot to kick Su Wen, but the latter was incredibly fast and had already slipped out the next second.

As the door closed gently, the girl pulled the blanket over her head, her face flushed.

How could a human dare to be her master?
What's even more infuriating is that she actually agreed, as if possessed!

Damn it, damn it!
The girl angrily kicked the blankets on the bed, but gradually quieted down, surrounded by a strange feeling. She had always been addressed as "Master" by Di Tian and others, the sovereign of all soul beasts, and worshipped by all beasts. Almost no one dared to speak loudly to her; everyone treated her with utmost respect.

But someone as noble as her has to call a human master... How strange.

the other side.

Su Wen sat back on the bed, yawned, and was about to go to sleep.

A graceful figure in a pure white dress appeared.

"Snow Emperor?" Su Wen asked in surprise.

"Master," Xue Di said softly, "Are you going to my place to cultivate today?"

"Huh?!" Su Wen felt goosebumps all over his body and looked at Xue Di in horror. "What...what are you doing? What master or mistress? Aren't we friends?"

Xue Di looked at Su Wen quietly, her smile gentle.

"I...I was just joking with the Silver Dragon King..." Su Wen said weakly.

The Snow Emperor remained calm.

"Can I skip studying tonight? I want to rest," Su Wen said, on the verge of tears.

Xue Di shook her head.

Su Wen lay on his back on the bed.

so tired……

……

Star Forest.

Di Tian sneezed and looked around with a suspicious expression.

When the Crimson King saw the look that Di Tian was giving him, he trembled and quickly searched his mind to see if he had done anything wrong recently. But wait, the auspicious beast had already left a few days ago, and it hadn't offended anyone.

Xiong Jun met the gaze without flinching, snorted coldly, and crossed its arms. It coveted Di Tian's position, and since its master wasn't around, if this kid glanced at it again, it would raise its bear claws and attack.

The Demon King and his companions behaved themselves, avoiding Di Tian's gaze and admitting defeat.

Di Tian grew increasingly suspicious.

It is an unparalleled ferocious beast that has existed for over 800,000 years. Even if it stays in the core of the far north for several months, it will not be affected. Why is it sneezing now? Could this be an ominous sign?
"Red King, have you gotten into trouble lately?" Di Tian said in a deep voice.

"No! I swear to God, it was wrong of me to put the auspicious beast in danger last time, but the other side was too strong! Ten titled Douluo, one level 98..." Crimson King cried and sniffled, his three heads accusing him in unison.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Di Tian's face twitched.

"Why bring that up? I'm just asking if you've caused any trouble!"

"No." The Crimson King shrank back.

"If you don't have it, just say you don't. Look at your sleazy appearance! Do you even resemble one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts?" Di Tian said sternly.

Red King: "..."

You're the scumbag! Your whole family is scumbag!
Why is it attacking in beast form?

But it only dared to hang its head, inwardly accusing Di Tian of bullying people.

"Could it be that something went wrong with the lord?" Brigitte walked over slowly, her expression worried.

“No!” Di Tian shook his head, opened his palm, and a silver dragon scale floated in the air. “Although the master is injured, he still has the strength of a demigod. Moreover, he left a dragon scale with me before he left. If something happens, this dragon scale will dim.”

"..."

Xiong Jun glanced at the dragon scales, his face full of envy.

This is a sign of the Lord's trust. When will it be able to have this honor and trample Di Tian under its feet...?

"I must have been overthinking it," Di Tian mused.

……

The next day.

The finals.

As for why the finals were held on the second day, it was naturally because a strange scene had occurred the day before. Shrek Academy completely defeated the Sun Moon Empire, which simply admitted defeat. In the battle between the Clear Sky Sect and the Imperial Academy, Jiang Peng, knowing he was no match for Tang San, angered him and, to avoid retaliation from the opponent in the individual elimination rounds the next day, also surrendered and admitted defeat.

So the second day simply became the finals.

The number of spectators surged again, from one million to more than two hundred thousand, and ticket prices soared to two gold soul coins, yet they were still in short supply.

Even the chairs prepared for the front row were simply removed, and everyone had to stand; it was pure crowding.

Clearly, all viewers found it hard to resist the allure of the "grand finals".

It's said that this year's competition is particularly fierce, with all sorts of extraordinary talents emerging. If you miss this year, you might never see this level of competition again.

These young people, who are still quite naive now, will all become important figures in various forces in the future. Their existence as powerful figures makes them even more worthwhile.

"A lot of people..."

Even Wang Dong'er widened her pinkish-blue eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

The overwhelming cheers that greeted us as soon as we entered the stadium were deafening, echoing and reverberating throughout the venue, reaching straight to the sky.

Even the rest area that was originally the arena was only used for Shrek Academy and Haotian Academy, while the rest were dismantled to serve as spectator seats. Of course, they were all special spectators—a group of royal nobles. Su Wen even saw them for a long time. The latter smiled sweetly and made a cheering gesture.

Today, Xu Jiujiu exudes an air of extravagance, dressed in a light purple palace dress, the color of a violet, a national treasure.

And at the same time.

Tang San, on the other side, narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Wen.

The two stared at each other, as if a fateful battle was about to begin.
